There will be no nursing home in MY future!
When I get old & feeble, I am going to get on a cruise ship. The average cost for a nursing home is $200.00 per day. I have checked on reservations on a cruise ship and I can get a long term discount and senior citizen price of $135.00 a day. That leaves $65.00 a day for:
1. Gratuities which will only be $10.00 a day.
2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the restuarant or I can have room service (which means I can have breakfast in bed every day of the week).
3. Curise ships have as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, free washers and dryers, and show every night.
4. They have free toothpaste and razors and free soap and shampoo.
5. They will treat you like a customer and not a patient. An extra $5.00 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.
6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.
7. TV broken? Light bulb needs changing? Need to have the mattress replaced? No problem. They will fix everything and apologize for your inconvenience.
8. Clean sheets and towels every day and you don’t even have to ask for them.
9. If you fall in a Nursing Home and break a hip, you are on Medicare. If you fall and break a hip on the cruise ship, they will upgrade you for the rest of your life.
And hold on to the best! Do you want to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, australia, New Zealand or just name where you want to go?
Cruise lines have a ship ready to go so don’t look for me in a Nursing Home, just call shore to ship!
My husband sent me this…
…is he trying to tell me something?
